Generally skeptical of programming languages that require an IDE (or a language server, which is the same thing) to use effectively

That said I do want to write a language server for Hare at some point because I think that would be useful to certain kinds of programmers
But the LSP specification is, uh, quite a doozy
-
@drewdevault do you think LSP is conceptually bad, or just bad in specifics of execution? (I'm inferring you think LSP is bad in most use-cases)
-
@PuddleOfKittens I think that LSPs serve a purpose for a programming subculture that I am not a member of and do not understand very well. For that reason I don't judge it too much. But I will say that the complexity floor seems uncomfortably high and that this subculture tends to have a laissez-faire relationship with software complexity that I do think is "bad".

@drewdevault this is my biggest complaint about Kotlin
